Random stuff that caught my attention...

Had a very nice day, the first i have done in this year's MC transition.
It felt very strange this morning waking up where i would be working, i got out of bed, showered, ate breakfast and started to work without moving more than 20m at a time!

I've spent a lot of time the past few days looking at stuff on the internet, here is my guide to some of the nicer, crazier or frankly ridiculous things to be found on the information super-highway...

• Thailand photos (thanks Bee!)
• The blog of the BBC's political editor, Nick Robinson (ok, you have to like politics and political satire A LOT to appreciate this, just to warn you...)
• The 'modern & inclusive' Conservative Party recently had to reassure it's grass-roots members that it would not force local constituencies to accept "mincing metrosexuals" as candidates for future elections. And this was the party that performed best in recent local council elections...
• Music "can reduce chronic pain" say US researchers
• According to a UK planning organisation, HeathrowAirport should be closed and moved to the other side of London! They refer to the current site as "a series of minor planning disasters that together make up one of the country's truly great planning catastrophes."
• The EU member states have agreed to a new deal that will reduce barriers to cross-border provision of services
• Political rebel & former British MP George Galloway has been quoted as saying in a magazine interview that it could be "morally justified" for a suicide bomber to assassinate Tony Blair
• Cherie Blair (wife of Tony) is surprised at the media making a fuss of the revelation tha the Labour Party spent £7,700 on her hairstyling in last year's election campaign

So, i hope that has given you a bit of an insight into the beautiful and mysterious country i will soon be moving to, and the ever-so-slightly wacky one i have left behind...

Good night, I'm off 'home' (i.e. into the next room)
